Dancing Gecko

Well i've had my gecko for about a year and it's been perfectly fine up until this time. I kept her in my room until about 2 months ago because it was getting crowded in here (I have 2 cresteds in my room now). So I put her out in my living room, which is (in comparison with my room) bright, slightly more noisy as the T.V is usually on and there is traffic in the living room during the day. Now I dont consider it an OVERLY stressful environment, or else I wouldn't have put her there. However, I have noticed that now my gecko does this thing often where she will start moving in circles and shaking its head back and forth. Now the reason I mentioned all the information prior to this is because I was searching through the site and it sounds like this is something that you refer to as Enigma Syndrome or something of that nature and said that it may be stress related and have to do with the bright lights, noise, etc that is going on in her new environment. So essentially I am looking for confirmation to see if this is what is wrong with her so I can move her back in my room unless this is not her problem. Also, if that is her problem, what exactly IS engima syndrome, I would deeply appreciate an explanation or a link to an explanation. As I would like to know if it's something genetic or of that sort so I know not to breed her.


On a seperate note, I also noticed a slight red spot on the tip of her nose that I believe is maybe from when she lunges to eat the crickets. It's nothing serious, and is very slight, but is it something that I should worry about, or am I just worrying too much.


I appreicate all the help. :)

If she is circling, and has the shakes, it very well COULD be due to a drastic change in environment. If she is used to your bedroom with little noise, and now has a brighter, noisier environment, it very well could be symptoms of too much stress. I know albinos especially are light sensitive, and it will overload them quickly. If I were you, I would move her back into your room and see if her behavior changes.
